... "The second action of the President that takes one’s breath away is her awarding Lucio Tan the Order of Lakandula, Rank of Bayani,which is one of the highest presidential honors. According to the EO creating these awards, the rank of Bayani is “Conferred upon an individual who has devoted his life to the peaceful resolution of conflict; upon an individual whose life is worthy of emulation by the Filipino people; or upon a Crown Prince, Vice President, Senate President, Speaker of the House, Chief Justice or equivalent…” Per the press release, Arroyo praised Tan for his achievements, contributions to the advancement of education, health and social welfare, support for the success of presidential and other high-level foreign visits, his philanthropic work and corporate social responsibility practices (has she talked to any of his employees,particularly in PAL, lately?) and for his outstanding leadership in the country’s business community and overseas.
I have only one question to ask Ms Arroyo in this regard: Did you ask the Presidential Commission on Good Government, or Catalino Generillo, or Elpidio Que, or Danny Pacana, or Liway Vinzons Chato, or Imelda Marcos, where Tan got the money for all his philanthropy?"...

Tycoon's Family Kidnaps Maids
A Xavier School alumnus, his father, mother and sister are being charged with kidnapping their two maids and engaging in human trafficking. The two maids were recruited through manpower agencies and lived with the family in their house, inside the Lucio Tan compound in Quezon City. According to the two maids who had employment contracts, they were kidnapped then worked in the residence.
Based on that evidence, Quezon City RTC Branch 94 issued arrest warrants against the Xavier alumnus and his entire family! Not just an arrest warrant, but non-bailable arrest warrants.
Look at the profile of the four family members.
The father is a 70 year old executive, he was Vice-Chairman and Treasurer of Philippine Airlines, Treasurer of Fortune Tobacco Corporation, Chairman of the Executive Committee of Allied Bank and Treasurer of the Lucio Tan Group of Companies.
The wife is a former accountant and now housewife in her early 60s.
The son is a Xavier alumnus and graduate of Ateneo where he took B.Sc. Management (Legal Management). He was a ranking executive of Tanduay and Philippine Airlines.
The daughter is an Architect, wife of another Xavier alumnus (batch1991). She is a graduate of UST and obtained 10th Place in the 1999 Architectural Board Examination. She was an Executive of Philippine Airlines and is currently an Entrepreneur.
If you match any of the profiles above, don't think our justice system cannot catch you. You might just be arrested for kidnappingyour maids.
